Chapter 212: Xiao Moting, please pretend to be my boyfriend

"A blind date?" Bai Wei was startled, and immediately opposed it, "There is too much to do at the Farm, I'm not going."

"Don't think I don't know that you're just using being busy as an excuse; how could the Farm be that busy?" Li Hong was firm this time, "On Saturday afternoon, go have a meal with the son of Auntie Li, who works with me at the supermarket. He just returned from Yanjing and doesn't have a girlfriend either. He works at a big company and his family even bought a house in town; the conditions are quite good."

"Mom, I'm not going." Bai Wei was anxious.

She hadn't expected that her mother would have already arranged it for her.

Bai Wei felt truly helpless.

She didn't want to go on a blind date at all right now; she only wanted to expand the Farm and help Xiao Moting unify the world so that the Daliang Kingdom could overcome its crisis.

It was just a pity that her mother didn't understand these thoughts of hers at all.

Li Hong said, "You have to go whether you want to or not. In any case, I'm worried about you being alone in the village."

Bai Wei blurted out, "Mom, I have a boyfriend, I'm not going on a blind date."

"What? You have a boyfriend?" Through the receiver, Li Hong's tone was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "When did you get a boyfriend? Where is he from, and where does he work? How much does he earn a month? How many relatives does his family have?"

"Mom, are you checking his household registration?" Bai Wei was caught between laughter and tears.

"Of course I have to ask clearly, so you don't end up with some delinquent. Tell Mom quickly, what is his name, and what exactly does he do?"

"This..." Bai Wei hesitated.

Where would she get a boyfriend? She had just said it off the cuff to deal with her mother asking her to go on a blind date.

She hadn't expected her mother to insist on getting to the bottom of it.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her mind.

"Mom, my boyfriend's name is Xiao Moting, he is... he is an actor in historical dramas."

Anyway, Xiao Moting was in ancient times; if she used him to pretend, no one would be able to check.

"What? You found a celebrity?" Li Hong was surprised, "But why haven't I seen this celebrity on TV?"

"Mom, not everyone who acts is a celebrity; he... he is a stunt double for fight scenes."

"A stunt double? That job is too dangerous! And I've heard that the entertainment industry is very messy. Is this boyfriend you found reliable? Call him over this weekend to have a meal with me, I want to ask him properly."

Seeing her mother take on the stance of getting to the bottom of things, Bai Wei could only stall.

"Mom, Xiao Moting is currently with the film crew; they are filming out of town and won't be back for a while."

"Then give me his contact information, Mom will give him a call. You are my only daughter, I must keep an eye on your life's major events." Li Hong would not budge an inch. She hadn't married well in her own life and had encountered those people from the Bai Family; now that her daughter had a boyfriend, she had to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing that her mother insisted on calling Xiao Moting, Bai Wei was dumbfounded.

Xiao Moting was in the ancient Daliang, how could they possibly talk on the phone?

Even if she sent a mobile phone to ancient times, the signal wouldn't reach the modern era.

Bai Wei was practically tearing her hair out in worry.

As expected, she shouldn't have lied just now.

One lie requires a thousand more to cover it up.

"Mom, he... he is abroad, the signal there is bad and he can't receive calls... I have things to do now, let's talk about the phone call later."

"Don't think your mom is senile; I've watched TV, you can make calls even in the deep mountains and old forests abroad." Li Hong was relentless, "In any case, if he can't answer the phone, just have him record a video for me to see! Anyway, I have to know whether your boyfriend is round or flat."

The call ended.

Bai Wei's tense body slumped onto the chair all at once.

It was over!

Her mother wanted to see a video.

Where was she supposed to find a boyfriend?

Could it be that she could only ask Xiao Moting for help?

Just at this moment, she suddenly received a signal in her mind.

Xiao Moting was about to perform a Teleportation.

Bai Wei jumped up immediately and ran to the courtyard of the Farm.

The next moment!

A tall, majestic horse appeared out of thin air in front of her.

"Neigh!"

The crimson steed, standing over a person's height, snorted majestically, its long tail swishing back and forth.

"A horse? Xiao Moting sent me such a big horse." Bai Wei was stunned.

A note drifted down from the air, and she caught it subconsciously.

On the paper was Xiao Moting's familiar handwriting.

"Shennü Daren, your Firework allowed the Northern Frontier Army to defeat the Yuan Family Army and achieve victory."

"This Sweat-Blood Thousand-Li Horse is the spoils of war captured; it was Yuan Canghai's mount, and now it belongs to you."

Bai Wei subconsciously looked up at the horse.

So, it was Yuan Canghai's horse, and Xiao Moting had gifted it to her.

Last time, Xiao Moting had sent her a small red horse, also a Sweat-blood Horse, and Museum Curator was so envious that he had asked her for it several times, but she hadn't been able to bear giving it away.

But this Sweat-Blood Thousand-Li Horse before her had a purer lineage than the small red horse and was even more spirited!

The Sweat-blood Horse was still draped with a saddle, which hadn't been removed in time.

It looked like Yuan Canghai had been thoroughly defeated in this battle; not only had he not taken the horse, but he had even left the saddle behind.

Bai Wei walked up, cautiously reached out her hand, and touched the Sweat-blood Horse.

Suddenly, she saw a pocket on the saddle.

Bai Wei subconsciously reached out and touched it, and actually pulled something out.

"Huh, what is this?"

A palm-sized Horse-Head Jade Wine Pot, made of jasper, with exquisite carving.

Inside the pot, there was a faint residue of wine.

Bai Wei tried to open the wine pot, but the lid would not open!

She had bought a few such wine pots in Daliang, and their price in the modern era was around one hundred thousand or so.

Compared to the wine pot, this horse was more valuable.

Museum Curator Qin had long coveted her little red horse, claiming it was an extinct Sweat-blood Horse, and had repeatedly offered to buy it for a high price, but Bai Wei firmly refused to sell; after all, it was a little horse that Xiao Moting had caught for her with his own hands, and she had raised it herself, so she could not bear to send it to a museum.

However, now that Bai Wei had obtained another one, the Farm could not keep two horses, so it would be better to sell it.

Thinking of this, Bai Wei immediately called Museum Curator Qin.

"Museum Curator Qin, didn't you want to buy my Sweat-blood Horse? I am selling one to you now."

"Oh right, there is also a wine pot, the lid won't open."

Bai Wei took photos of the Sweat-Blood Thousand-Li Horse and, while she was at it, also sent the wine pot with the stuck lid to Museum Curator Qin.

After taking the photos, she wrote a note and sent it to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, I received the Sweat-Blood Horse you sent, thank you."

"However, there is one more thing, I would like to trouble you for a favor."

Soon, Xiao Moting sent a note back.

"Shennü Daren, what matter requires Mo Ting's help? Please give your command."

Bai Wei blushed; this matter was truly a bit difficult to bring up.

Xiao Moting lived in ancient Daliang, an era with strict boundaries between men and women, where even if a man accidentally touched a woman's arm, the woman's family would report it to the authorities.

But since the lie had already been told, she could only take the blame herself.

Bai Wei bit the bullet and wrote a note.

"Xiao Moting, could I ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend? My mom is pressuring me to go on blind dates, and I accidentally said my boyfriend was you."

"Now my mom insists on calling you and wants to see a video of you; could you film a video and send it to my mom?"
